Kinectics of the pulmonary phase of Schistosoma mansoni in mice treated with dexamethasone Cinética da fase pulmonar do Schistosoma mansoni em camundongos tratados com dexametasona

In the experimental schistosomiasis mansoni glucocorticoids cause a reduction in the worm burden when administered in the week of infection or, the longest, at the next week. In order to determinate the probable(s) site(s) of reduction of the worm burden, mice were infected with cercariae of LE stra...
